They made a poor buisness choice and when the saw the potential for loosing money, as one post put it, they backed out. They are a business. The are there to make money. The people in charge thought this endorsment would make them more money (increase sales). I am taking them at their word that they inked the deal before they knew all the specifics. That was definatly a poor business choice in my eyes. Does it warrent people to ceace from looking into there products. Sure it does if that person has a real problem with it. I personally will continue to consider all the products made by any manufacturer and buy the one that best suites my needs. I have more than one Ruger in my gunsafe and will eventually have a S&W or a few even thought both companies did serious damage to the firearms industry at one time or another. Both are under new management now and i have no problems givein them my money.......

just go out and sling some carbon and have fun. lifes to short for BS like this.
